What's the rationale here? To propose a rationale: hiding this element in CSS across hundreds of Wikimedia wikis seems an inelegant solution. There aren't actually that many ways to configure the contents of the login form. The other reasonable alternative here is to WONTFIX this bug, under the assumption that for the third party use case, where a wiki is locked down and requires an a sysop to create accounts for others, the sysops in question know how to find with CreateAccount page without this CTA. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
